Pressure over Bearing Area of Flat Pivot Bearing Calculator

Calculate Pressure over Bearing Area





Formula

The formula to calculate the Pressure Intensity is:

\[ pi = \frac{Wt}{\pi \cdot R^2} \]

Definition

The Pressure intensity at a point is defined as the external normal force per unit area. The SI unit of pressure is Pascal.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ pi = \frac{24}{\pi \cdot 3.3^2} = 0.701509391038657 \text{ Pa} \]
